[QUOTE="smurfslayer, post: 1822974, member: 21926"] At a previous employer, a problem tracking database was ‘upgraded’ to an iteration of a customized platform of a company that rhymes with McHale’s Horse. It didn’t just suck, it sucked HUGE. Bugs, lost functionality, inability to search the old databases etc. It was not well liked. Although certainly something I could be scoped to use, I rode out the lifecycle of that product and never used it a single time. Not to worry though, the same employer “upgraded” to a newer and alleged to be improved product from the same vendor and the implementation was a spectacular failure, the cutover was 3 months, the drop dead date came and the old database was dumped before the new one was fully functional. C/S chaos ensued. The word ‘disaster’ should have been redefined. The outage was 1-2 days. Reduced functionality on critical items lasted almost a month, the lost functionality on all other issues lasted about 15 months. I am starting to think the smart purchaser will ‘skip’ the trendy “EV” releases and patiently await the next tech while rocking the trusty dino-powered vehicles. Because what if the promised battery tech breakthrough never comes? Then what? What if we never achieve more than 400 miles on a battery charge, while hypermiling in a stripped down econobox? History is replete with failures that had great promise. [/QUOTE]
